Dial-On-Demand.

From the 1st October 2022, GB3JB has provide the DoD facility to it’s users, via Slot 1, TG 9.

Along with the users of other SWC connected repeaters, you have the opportunity to connect to other Talk Groups, on other Networks.

The operation of connected SWC repeaters via Slot 2, TG 950, is isolated from the changes made to Slot 1, and will thus continue as previously.

Below, you will see an image showing the ‘Dial-on-Demand’ operational processes, as well as a YouTube video from yours truly.

This Is Very Important.  If you have been using your local repeaters Slot 1 for a DoD, QSO, it is very important that you disconnect from that talk group when you finish the QSO.  To do so you must re-dial using 4000.  As explained in the 'How To' document, below.

Remember, there may be other locals on Slot 2, who would wish to QSY to Slot 1, and they only need to use TG 9, not the other, still open, talk group.

Always disconnect when you are finished with your DoD, QSO.

.

Also, from the prospective of using the SWC DoD facility, always select the “Private Call” option.

This is a NEW system, with bespoke software for SWC use.

Extensive testing has been carried out, but 'Murphys Law' almost demands that the testing has missed some little ‘BUG’, somewhere.

If you think something is not quite right, let me know, and those folks with brains 'the size of planets' can investigate.

How To Dial On Demand

This YouTube video shows you how to connect to and disconnect from an external talk group via Slot 1, TG 9, on any South West Cluster connected repeater, using a Retevis RT3s.  Basically the same as a TYT MD-380uv.

As with all external links from this site, once you leave the GB3JB web site you are on your own.
